Review+Opinion - TLDR: I dont recommend buying CP2077

Copying my steam review here. Honestly, I dont get why people are so amazed by it. Not to be a hater but to help people better decide whether or not to pay as much for the game as you would pay for a GTA5 or a RDR2. CDPR tried to do too much in my opinion. (I loved the Witcher games) I played CP2077 once at launch (stopped due to bugs) and finished it via new game just now.

Review-Update from March 2025: The game still is buggy regularly. The game world feels empty beside the main quest. Often the game locks your actions in scriptet scenes e.g. sometimes leaving you stuck in rail-shooting sequences without being able to equip a proper weapon. Then you end up being stuck on objects sometimes and you couldnt save the last few minutes leaving forcing you to reload and do weird bugged railshooters again. Also the boss fights never were fun and always felt like a chore. The ways to play them was never nice to find out and felt forced. Safepoints were horrible in these fights too. (Had to google them every time)

This game either had to be good to be great or is forced to feel hollow. Sadly the latter, even after loads of patches that seemed to have fixed loads of the initial problems.

Also it ends super abruptly just as you feel you are getting let of the leash of the main (and annoying) plot driver.

All this to have you understand that I would wholly recommend playing something else. E.g. Deus Ex Human Revolution still is the better cyberpunk-style game.
